HPX or CC
Is there a difference between the Cackle Cure mod and the HPX mod? is there a benefit difference? i just ordered CC but it looks like a lot more work than the HPX. Can some one set me straight?

The HPX is for connecting the oil rails together to ensure steady oil pressure to the injectors. Now the oil pressure can be different in the two rails and in those injectors.
CC is to remove the air from the fuel line and ensure the steady fuel to all injectors. Air is the "diablo" here which makes our beloved engine knocking and rattling like crazy
To add these mods, as a side effect to the fact you'll get engine running better, is that the noise will calm down a lot. That's of course not the main idea here, but that happens when everything (fuel and oil) goes like in the "real" diesel engines. The Ford diesel engineers must have been busy when launching this 7.3 PSD

CC will take 3-5 hours and you have to remove the IC pipes. I'm going for this one soon too. As I don't have the garage, it is outside job (98*F afternoon), I'll try to start in the cooler morning.
HPX 30min, if doing everything calmly and doesn't have to remove anything.

I made my own cackle cure out of SS hardline, and a bunch of fittings I got on line. I never had to remove the intercooler tubes. I just took off the intake tube and went to town. There is a great thread that tenn started a couple of weeks ago w/ pics on how to do this mod.

Yep, just ordered mine. Hopefully it is as good as advertised here.
I can understand the problem in the stock fuel lines and I believe that this will help.
After "burn out" and hitting the gas and speeding somewhere 70mph (normal industrial area, 55mph limit, driving
), my engine always seems to be little "confused" after you stop to e.g. signal lights and let it iddle, after like 10s it seems to run steady again. It is maybe de-fueling or air problem. I don't have the tank mod yet.
